Favorite Knives - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I like good tools that have quality and purpose.

For my kayak multi-purpose ready knife, I like having a Morakniv Companion Fixed Blade on a cord around my neck. I use a paracord style neck cord that stretches like a bungee for comfort. I buy that stretch cord by the yard from an Army Surplus store. Also convenient on the neck cord hanging with the knife sheath is a signal whistle and large size nail clippers for cutting fluorocarbon leaders and knots off of hooks.

Morakniv Companion Fixed Blade:

- High quality design and strong material
- Lightweight, simple elegant design
- Holds up well to salt water and abuse
- 4.1" blade of high quality stainless steel, durable thickness, razor sharp
- Durable molded synthetic handle & sheath is smooth and comfortable
- Sheath has multiple ways to mount, including good belt/vest clip
- Knife snaps in securely and holds comfortably from any angle
- Razor sharp blade cuts braid, lines, cords, rope effortlessly
- This knife arrived so sharp I have not had a need to resharpen yet.
- multi-purpose blade shape from cutting bait to emergency use
- grips well when wet
- Low cost/high value @ $17
- Made in Sweden

This Milwaukee Fastback folding knife I found on the sidewalk. It has turned out to be my most useful regular carry all-purpose utility knife.

- Very strong and tight, like a good tool should be
- Stainless steel blade, piercing tip and smooth, controlled cutting
- Blade is about 3" and stout. Overall length folded is about 5"
- Easy one-hand flip open, locks securely in closed and open positions
- Sharpens easily. I tend to sharpen regularly to maintain razor edge
- Convenient hole at back for split ring or lanyard
- Strong reversible wire clip for belt or vest pocket, etc.
- Slim & compact for it's size. Comfortable and smooth in the pocket.
- Remarkable tool strength in a flip knife for only $15 at Home Depot

I like lots of exotic and collectible knives too. These are both durable and practical.

Any other suggestions?
